A German Revision OF the Bible
From the Pail Mall Gazette.


The work of revising the Bible which
is going on IN Germany does not APP
pear to be making the desired prog
ress. This is partly owing to the di-
intuition which has taken place In
the membership Of the commission,
but more to the failure OF the men,
bers to attend the conferences. A pien-
airy meeting OF the commission held
at Cologne lately WAS only attended
by eight PERSONS. The revisors began
the third and last reading Of the Old
Testament, taking first Isaiah and the
Psalms The former book was finished
and the later half completed. Anoth-
er sitting will be held III the autumn,
and then the reading OF the Psalms
will be resumed and the third reading
OF Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and several OF
the minor prophets be proceeded with.
Sub commissions have been appointed
to read Jeremiah and Genesis, and
these will hold sittings in Whitsun
week and in the autumn. 1t has been
found expedient that q commission Of
scholars well acquainted with the Ian
guage Of Luther end the requirements
of the present age 8 ould be appointed
to decide on various questions affect
ing the diction OF the sample Bible
which is being prepared, and the Min
lister OF Public Worship has agreed to
defray ell incidental expenses.

that has not absorbed the nicotine.
The harmfulness of q pipe comes of IFS
having absOTb0>. great quantity of
nicotine, so that you are constantly
taking more Of it into your system.
The cigar would come next in favor.
OF course. the stronger pipe is the
more nicotine there is in it, and the
more nicotine you have the grearer is
the chance OF injuring your system.
The chief constituents of tobacco
smoke are wafer. carbonic acid, car
bonic oxide in state of gas and nico-
line
When q man smokes TOO much the ex-
cess produces an irritation of the
stomach, and the membrane secretes
irregularly and does not produce the
due amount of gastric fluid. That is
the first phase. After awhile the
stomach gets into such a condition
that it tolerates this state of existence,
so that there is not the same nausea
produced in al cd smoker that we
find in n younger smoker. Whether
smoking is good for man depends
on his organization. l do not think
that smoking is ever beneficial for a
nervous man. Then, again. much de-
ponds on how much man smokes

Down in Houston County, Ca, there Is
an ancient village called Old Wilmer. In
its most prosperous days there was big
school there, and teacher cana from the
North to take charge of the academy. His
name was Moore. Heslost his wife, whom
he loved very dearly. He had her buried
in the old burying grouhd of Wilmer, and
out of the meager funds he erected mar
Bile tombstone at the head of her grave.
As it was in the wild wood, as cemeteries
generally were then, it was a favori te
hunting ground for the juvenile popula-
ton. Thus it came about that the half
obliterated epitaph appears to-day, cut
deep in the messy stone "Boys, Don't
Shoot Birds Around Martha's Grave"
The name, Martha Anne Moore, with da te
of birth and death, appear above. 1t is a
curious eptaph, and it is the only bit OF
history left concerning the old teacher and
his wife.

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How an Indian Treats an Injury - Old
Time Methods.

How an Indian Treats an Injury - Old
Time Methods.
The savage is emphatically the child OF
nature. He lives close to nature, his only
education is gained in natures school.
When the Indian receives an INJURY, he
does not seek a cure in mineral poisOns, but
binds on the simple leaf, administers the
herbal tea, and, with natures aid, comes
natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the
wilderness, built their uncouth but COM
Portable log cabins and started 1.-THE clear

at hand natures potent remedies for all
their common ailments. 1t was only in very
serious cases they sent for old Saddle
bags" with his phySic, which quite as often
killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too far
away from nature, in every way, for its own
good. Our grandfathers and grandmoth-
ers lived wholesOmer, purer, better, health
Ter, more natural lives than we do. Their
minds were not filled with noxious isms,
nor their bodies saturated with poisonous
drugs.
Is it not time to make change, to return
to the simple vegetable preparations OF our
grandmothers, which contained the power
and potency of nature as remedial agents,
and in all the ordinary ailments were effica-
cious, at least harmless!
The proprietOrs of Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies have thought so, and have put on
the market a number of these pure veg
etable preparations, made from formulas
secured after patient searching into the
annals of the past, so that those who want
them need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies will be
found Log Cabin Sarsaparilla," for the
blood; "Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Rene

LOG Cabin Scalpine," for strengthening
